Notes
'Ein Shemer' apple (Malus domestica 'Ein Shemer') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for fresh eating. The tree blooms early, before almost any other apple, and bees visit the flowers. It sets fruit reliably where winters are mild and often crops heavily without other apples nearby.
Pairs well with Flowering quince, High-bush blueberry, Garlic chives, and Rhubarb.
